High-Resolution 3T MR Imaging of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex
This study is intended as a review of 3Tesla (T) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). The recent advances in MR imaging, which includes high field strength magnets, multi-channel coils, and isotropic 3-dimensional (3D) sequences have enabled the visualization of precise TFCC anatomy with high spatial and contrast resolution. In addition to the routine...
متن کاملQuantitative MR of Cartilage and Implications for TMJ Imaging
Conventional MR images are qualitative and rely on subjective interpretation of changes in tissue appearance to diagnose injury or disease. Several inherent tissue properties contribute to a tissue's appearance in an MR image. These properties include the tissue's T1 time, T2 time, and proton density. Specific MR pulse sequences are designed to generate image contrast based on these inherent pr...
متن کاملSodium MR Imaging of Articular Cartilage Pathologies
Many studies have proved that noninvasive sodium MR imaging can directly determine the cartilage GAG content, which plays a central role in cartilage homeostasis. New technical developments in the recent decade have helped to transfer this method from in vitro to pre-clinical in vivo studies. Sodium imaging has already been applied for the evaluation of cartilage and repair tissue in patients a...
متن کاملQuantitative Cartilage Imaging in Knee Osteoarthritis
Quantitative measures of cartilage morphology (i.e., thickness) represent potentially powerful surrogate endpoints in osteoarthritis (OA). These can be used to identify risk factors of structural disease progression and can facilitate the clinical efficacy testing of structure modifying drugs in OA. This paper focuses on quantitative imaging of articular cartilage morphology in the knee, and wi...
متن کاملMR Imaging-based Semi-quantitative Methods for Knee Osteoarthritis
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based semi-quantitative (SQ) methods applied to knee osteoarthritis (OA) have been introduced during the last decade and have fundamentally changed our understanding of knee OA pathology since then. Several epidemiological studies and clinical trials have used MRI-based SQ methods to evaluate different outcome measures. Interest in MRI-based SQ scoring system ha...
